Circular flows are generally used to depict the steps in virtuous and vicious cycles. These are processes that begin and end back at the beginning again, creating a continuous cycle.This circular flow has input from a single source that may or may not to be part of the cycle.

Use this framework to show a progression that feeds back into itself and begins again, with input from outside the cycle.This is actually a blend of a horizontal and circular flow elements.To create a straight entrance instead of a cut entrance, simply delete the point that creates the indent (see example, which shows a straight entrance). See CF015 as an alternative: the last circular segment feeds into the horizontal inflow; it is not part of it. See the tutorial for more information on usage and formatting.
